70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 393: Visit

"You two should eat together, your food is prepared too." Seeing Xu Mumu bring food for Professor Song, the two boys also decided to buy something from the hospital cafeteria as they hadn’t eaten much last night and were now very hungry.

Zhou Yunhong helped to take out the food, and the two boys felt very embarrassed.

"Come on, more people make it lively." Professor Song said with a smile, understanding their intentions and wanting them to feel less guilty.

"Thank you, Professor Song, thank you, Xu." The two lowered their heads, blushing. Had it been someone else, they might have been pinned with blame. Professor Song was so kind.

"You’re welcome." Xu Mumu said indifferently.

After everyone had eaten, Xu Mumu asked about Professor Song’s condition. His leg was already in a cast, and it was uncertain when it would fully recover. Professor Song was getting older and his health naturally wasn’t as good as a young person’s.

"I’m fine, don’t worry." Professor Song reassured Xu Mumu and also the other two students. Their family’s situation wasn’t great, and since their actions were unintentional, he didn’t plan to ask for compensation.

Yin Yang understood Professor Song’s intentions, so he remained silent. If these two boys hadn’t had a good attitude, he definitely would have made things hard for them.

Last night, whenever Professor Song needed something, these two rushed to help. He noticed it all.

"Sir Song only says nice things." Xu Mumu pouted unhappily, knowing Professor Song was just trying to prevent them from feeling too burdened. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Alright, did you bring the books I asked you to yesterday? It’s really boring staying in the hospital." Professor Song said with a gentle smile.

"I brought them." Xu Mumu sighed, knowing Professor Song’s true love was his books. As long as he had free time, he was either reading, conducting research, or learning foreign knowledge—truly living by the motto ’live and learn.’

Now that Professor Song was hospitalized, lying in bed was dull, so it was perfect for reading.

Yin Yang felt helpless too; if Professor Song hadn’t been reading while walking, he wouldn’t have to suffer like this.

Seeing the beloved books, Professor Song immediately felt comfortable, and it seemed his leg hurt less.

"Grandpa, you should rest well in the hospital for a while and not tire yourself out." Yin Yang said to Professor Song.

"Don’t worry, I know my body well." Professor Song said helplessly, cherishing the chance to return to school and learn more. This incident was just an accident.

Yin Yang rolled his eyes. After all that talk, it was for nothing. Forget it, if his grandpa loves it, so be it. He just had to keep a closer eye on him so similar incidents wouldn’t happen again.

Xu Mumu stayed with Professor Song, and nearing noon, the families of the two boys arrived.

Seeing the patches on their clothes, Xu Mumu felt a moment of discomfort. These families were poorer than the Old Xu Family she saw when she first arrived.

The two boys, one named Liang Lixia, the other Ji Xiaofeng, were so thin their eyes almost protruded.

Once the families arrived, they immediately wanted to kneel before Professor Song. Who would’ve thought these two kids could cause such trouble?

"Oh, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Professor Song’s leg couldn’t move, but he wanted to help them up.

"Get up, Sir Song doesn’t blame you." Xu Mumu helplessly helped them up.

"Just take a seat, my grandpa is fine." Yin Yang said coldly, with little emotion on his face.

Seeing these two, the families instantly knew they were the people the kids mentioned on the phone—Professor Song’s family.

"This is a token of our appreciation, please accept it." Ji Xiaofeng’s father took out the goods he brought. His family had hardly any spare cash to fund Ji Xiaofeng’s education, and there were two younger siblings at home still studying, making life very tight.

"We also brought an old hen for Professor Song to nourish his health." Liang Lixia’s father, somewhat embarrassed, presented what he brought.

"Since your families aren’t wealthy, take the goods back; I don’t need these." Professor Song said warmly. His injury was just an accident, and seeing these families struggle, he felt bad taking their offerings.

"Professor Song, please accept them. If you don’t, we’ll feel guilty. We can’t offer much help here." Ji Xiaofeng’s eyes were red, knowing Professor Song was considerate of them. Though offering these things would make home life harder, it was inevitable.

"I’ve accepted the goods; I’ll make soup for grandpa tomorrow." Yin Yang’s attention landed on the old hen, considering it must have been raised two or three years and was nutritious. But he didn’t care much for these things, just tired of their back-and-forth.

"You brat." Professor Song glared at Yin Yang but didn’t say much else. Fine, accepting is accepting, not much else, but it would prevent these kids from feeling guilty.

Yin Yang took the goods aside, and seeing him do so, the families smiled.

Yin Yang didn’t bother them, as they showed concern for Professor Song’s health. It was clear they respected him, honoring a man of learning, otherwise, they couldn’t have raised two Hua University attendees.

Professor Song was not a harsh person, speaking gently with them about what they asked, even chatting about Yin Yang and Xu Mumu. The families praised them to the skies, making Professor Song smile even more benevolently.

Xu Mumu organized some belongings in the hospital room, with Yin Yang beside her.

By noon, the teachers from the physics department came by to visit Professor Song, including the dean. With Professor Song injured, his classes had to be taken over by other teachers.

Luckily, Hua University had many excellent teachers, alleviating the worry of finding replacements. A thirty-something associate professor from the physics department would be handling it. His skills were impressive, likely earning a professor title in less than two years.

Professor Song had full confidence in this associate professor, giving him all his teaching materials directly.

The dean and others brought various items, including some fruits and nutritional products. While individually each didn’t bring much, the combined amount was substantial.

"So many things, Sir Song will be eating for a long time." Xu Mumu chuckled as she arranged the items neatly.
